I have not visit this place in about 3 years. Let me tell you if you have not visit, you are missing a good opportunity to have a great experience, I would not say it is cheat, but great experience overall. The place looks great and very accommodating. The food was great. But one thing that I felt was amazing was the service. It was on point. I can not say that I need it something and I could not find someone there to help me. If you guys at the redwood read this, you should be proud to have such an amazing team. As for everyone else, give yourself a treat and visit this place, you won’t regret it. Thank you like always this is just my experience overall of my resent visit to the restaurant. Hope this helps and I will see you around.
Shaun, the bartender, served us delicious drinks 🍸. He was very accommodating and was very friendly. We decided to eat dinner at the bar. We ordered beef short ribs, which he recommended. It was tender, flavorful and was just the right portion of food since we had drinks. We did order the fried octopus 🐙for the appetizer. It was also very tender. We would definitely be back to try a full dinner next time.
Great date night place, expensive but very a nice place! The cocktails are so fancy and polished. The atmosphere is wonderful when you dine inside. I’d recommend stopping here just for a cocktail and grabbing dinner somewhere else. Dinner prices are insane for what you get, but giving them a 5 anyways.
Excellent service and meal. The ribeye is absolutely terrific, tender & full of flavor, it is a must! The prawns in garlic appetizer was perfect.
The service was great. The food was good. But 42 dollars for risotto. 18 dollars for 6 Small deep fried coconut shrimp. I excepted more from this place. I dont mind paying up. But I dont like feeling as though I was ripped off. I wont be back
If I wouldve rated Redwood 2 years ago, I wouldve given 5 stars; however, theyve ruined the atmosphere by putting tents up out back, walls everywhere, and taking away from the once cozy atmosphere. Even more frustrating is the fact that the menu hasnt changed in two years. The only new choices are whatever the specials happen to be. At least its not stack and pack, like the new second location...
Wait kinda sucked without reservations. Sat at the bar. Great beer. Ended up getting short rib pizza, delicious. Very chill atmosphere
Our server was top-notch. The entrance is a little tricky because they closed off one area and they make you walk around to where the wedding venue areas starts and thats where theyre host table is. Maybe theyre working on setting up a new entrance. That was the only issue we ran into. The server was very friendly. He knew all of the specials and quickly announced them without having to try and remember them. The drink selection was very well priced for what they offer. They offered great choice for wine at a great price. And the food portions fit the price. Not like when you go to other fancy restaurants that overcharged you and dont give you good portions in return. All in all we will definitely be referring our friends and family to come here and enjoy the wonderful new atmosphere at the redwood cafe.
Food was good, but expensive. Ambiance was good, but staff was actually TOO attentive (constantly interrupting our conversations), while at the same time, forgetting ordered food/drink items TWICE.There were 2 large events going on that night, but plenty of staff to cover.
The service was very good. The steak was kind of chewy for a $50 filet. But it had a very good flavor. The sides were pretty good. The wait staff was very good. Its the reason Im giving 4 stars instead of 3 stars.
Love this place! Atmosphere is perfect and all the staff are great. Food is awesome. Had the best espresso martini of all time! Just amazing! Thanks Josh! Ask for Chianne for the best service and hospitality ❤️
Great shrimp and grits. Have only eaten there once, was pleasantly surprised how good that entree was!!!Great atmosphere, ate outside under the umbrellas. Nice background music too!
Friendly people at shipping office and fast loading
The food here is always delicious! The shrimp and grits was flavorful and portioned perfectly. The Italian salami pizza was outstanding. The lighting and decor was beautiful and modern. The staff was polite and helpful. I was there early for a meeting, so the parking lot wasnt too crowded. Overall, it was a great dinner!
Visiting from LA and was brought to the Redwood Cafe to celebrate an engagement. This place is amazing! Our server was very attentive and helpful. And the food... Also amazing. Presentation was 5 star and the food was cooked to perfection. When we go back to the Central Valley we definitely will make it a point to schedule this place into our itinerary.
I would give them no stars if I could! I Specifically told them when I ordered that I had a gluten allergy and that the two dishes that my husband and I were sharing needed to be gluten free. The pizza delivered was NOT gluten free, but we were told it was when it was delivered. Thankfully I only ate 1 piece before the error was discovered. But even one piece when you have celiac is more than enough to make you sick. Here it is a long holiday weekend and I will now probably spend it sick in bed. The sorry that I was told by the general manager doesnt mean a dam thing when your health and safety is involved. I am so careful and dont eat out often, but because of their error I will now have a problem. So much for the reviews stating the owners daughter has a gluten intolerance. So much for them training their staff.
Wow! The food is fantastic but the people really make the experience at this restaurant. We had Cheyenne and she is amazing! Will be back 😁
Great food. Awesome ambiance. Definitely will be back.
I love their new outdoor expansion. It looks great!
The food was good, cooked well but it was not enough for $45 I had Cod on a small bed of rice, An hour later I was hungry
Amazing food, great service, very pricey but we will be coming back.
We had a nice family Christmas lunch at The Redwood Cafe. The menu had lots of different options both in flavors as well as prices. The wine list was good as was the service. I would recommend it for an adult meal. Our family live in various locations in Northern CA. We were all traveling to get to this location. We will definitely do it again.
I’ve been hearing about this place for a while now and was so excited to visit, however my experience was the worse!! I arrived at 8 with my 5 yr old son and ask for a table for 2 in which I was directed to try their lounge area bc the wait was 45 mins, I go check it out and it’s pack and setup like a bar, so I go bk to the hostess and let her know I’d take the table! I get seated, it’s now 8:30 and no server comes for about 30 mins, now remind u theirs other ppl coming and getting seated as well, I get to finally order around 9:10 which was a pizza for my son and the coconut shrimp (5 for $19) and short ribs, never got my server name, bread came out cold once I received my food I couldn’t get salt, pepper literally was waiting for a server the whole night…. Nothing special just over priced with a nice setup!!
Came up from Manteca to check out this restaurant on a referral from friends. My wife and I were totally delighted with with every aspect from the architecture, wait staff, bar tenders, and incredible menu. We will return!
Expensive but beautiful ambience and wait was long for food. The waiter was very kind and the water boy was very sweet. Always filling or water glasses up . He was very gracious.
Best steak in the 209!!! Great hospitality and having the floor manager and executive chef spending time with us during dinner was great! We found our new favorite restaurant. Parking can get a little bad but not our experience!
Their Customer Service attitude is top-notch and takes what is a lovely setting and place for dinner to the top! My friend had asked for a table next to one of the flaming bowls; the Hostess initially sat us away from the bowls. My friend pointed this out to the Hostess, so she went and checked with (a Manager?) and got us re-seated as wished.Waiter Chris was perfect; dude who brought extra serving of their AMAZING appetizer breads was very cool. Love the setting and the food is GREAT!!

Absolutely wonderful! They have an excellent lunch menu with soups, salads, pizzas, sandwiches, and more. The Margherita Pizza is perfect, not too much sauce and plenty of cheese and basil. There’s an excellent drink menu with wines, mixed drinks, Italian sodas, and fruit teas.Everyone here was wonderful. Every member of the staff we interacted with was friendly, helpful, and so kind. Service was prompt and the quality was top notch.We ate indoors, which has a quiet, calm atmosphere and plenty of space. There are also several private outdoor seating areas as well as a dedicated bar area.We are definitely keeping Redwood Café in mind for any future events as well because the dedicated area in the back for weddings and events is absolutely stunning.I definitely recommend visiting here if you’re ever in the area.
The food was delicious. I really enjoyed my salmon and quinoa salad. We were a big group and they put us at the back which was nice so it was quiet and we could hear each other. The waiter was just okay, less attentive about filling waters and making sure everything was okay. Highly recommended.
Very courteous, food came in a timely manner. Food was great and desserts were awesome. I had the macaroni and cheese pasta and for dessert I had the bread pudding with ice cream! It was delicious.
Great food and service loved every thing about this place
I had my wedding there in September 2018, and unfortunately had a unpleasant experience. Me and my wife paid over $16,000 for us to show up and the workers still working on the venue. They told us it was because the had a event that morning like it was our fault. They didn’t bring out our beverages other then water, guest had to literally ask for soda or ice tea if not water was the only thing provided on the table. The food was late as well. No bottles were out for the toast and waiters were no where to be found. But the worst part was the bartender, he was extremely rude and unkind because %50 of my guest didn’t speak English. As a Hispanic, I would advice to other Hispanic couples maybe look some place else do to the language barrier. On the bright side the Venus was really nice unfortunately the service and planning was horrible. Hope this helps for other couples on the venue selection.
We attended an event outside and it was such a beautiful setting. The mushroom strudel and the filet were fantastic. The wine pairings certainly were an enhancement. We will be back.
Great place to dine! Good food and great atmosphere
The service was not great and the food was just okay. We got sat on the patio and it was almost impossible to hear my date because of the extremely loud band coming from the wedding Redwood was hosting. When we asked for a different table we were told we would have to go back to the host stand and have to wait for one. Living in the area this is a place I wouldnt be returning to.
The service was super great employees were great just an outstanding place to have dinner
I have eaten at Redwood many times, and the food is always great ! They have nice, fresh salads, fabulous lamb chops., pasta to die for, and more. The bar is the friendliest place in town, with Chris & Jeremy handling all the orders like short order cooks.. Highly recommended.
This is the friendliest place in town and the food is excellent.
Awesome service awesome food awesome atmosphere this place is great
Excellent place to spend time with friends and family. Great service and delicious food. Definitely recommend others to stop by.🥇
Would give it 3 1/2 if they went by 1/2 stars. Service was awesome, wait staff was awesome. Expensive food that was not very good. Ordered chicken parmesan and chicken was extremely dry. Noodles for awful good though. It was just too expensive and the food wasnt very good.
Tons of empty tables but we were told had to sit at bar, because they were all booked..Ate and left and tables were still empty.. Hostess was rude..Food was ok.. Not impressed..
Redwood Cafe is a great fine dining restaurant. The athmosphere is so romantic and relax. Full of blue cool lights. There is outdoor sitting, indoor and bar. The foos is delicious. I order a half chicken with mashed motatoes and sauteed spinach. My boyfriend order a salmon and substitute brousel sprouts with mashed potatoes. My peach iced tea is so refreshing. And of course dessert chocolate brownie with vanilla bean ice cream 😋😍
Loved the atmosphere, food and drinks were delicious!
Excellent selection on the menu daily lunch & dinner with and upscale specialty dishes added. Great Bar bites, happy hour and the pizzas are extra special as well as Wine Down Wednesday, Sunday Brunch its always an superb experience. I highly recommended this resaturant.
Great place but they need to turn down their A/C it was too cold
Great food. A bit on the pricey side but the Spicy chicken pasta was so good. Great place to go for a nice date night
Was here for a work dinner and the food was amazing. Plating was beautiful and staff was professional.
Perfect place to come here with friends! Plenty of room and a great assortment of food. We had bottomless mimosas and food which was about $40 altogether for each person. They leave the champagne bottle and the carafe of juice at the table and replenish the champagne when it runs dry. I tried the ceviche, chicken and waffles, smoked salmon (so good). Would come back here for the very clean and beautiful environment. The only downside was the weird parking lot but not a deal breaker
Very good food and atmosphere. I had a delicious Filet Risotto. Outstanding. My waife and will be back.
Whats wrong with just having a steak on the menu? Why did everything have to have reductions or glazes or crusts?
Food is always delicious moved us somewhere next to a open door after being asked to move to a warmer location.Asked if we were there for a special accasion, said yes but werent even offered any kind of dessert to choose from after the main course and the never came back with a box after I paid well and tipped well with cash
Possibly the best fine dining in the Modesto area. Certainly the best Ive found so far. Wonderful grounds for events, weddings, etc. But you go for the food. Solid up and down the menu. Dont leave without trying the lamb lollipops!
Nice atmosphere, but need to label food if its spicy, the mac n cheese had chili flakes, and we ordered a vanilla bean cheesecake to go and it tasted off, i think it was like lime? It was bad.
Absolutely a diamond in the sand box! I had not known of this place until now. It was amazing with many eating areas to choose from, romantic private cubes, to outside next to beautiful redwoods. These days the definition of service I feel is lost for so many, well here you can see what great service is and how easy it is to give great service (or maybe they are just that good at it). Ok the best for last, for the foodie in you lol. I had crab cakes for a starter and they were delicious to say the least but the fillet mignon was outstanding!!!!! Let me just say Im 50 years old and that was THE BEST FILLET that I have EVER had!FIVE STARS ACROSS THE BOARD! CONGRATS REDWOOD CAFE! and Thank you for an awesome evening. I will be back lol
Service was outstandingA little pricey.
LOVE this place. Its where we got married at & every time we are back here it gets better and better. Their outdoor seating it great: good is DELISH as always & service is beyond great/ Josh helped us out tonight & he was beyond attentive even with all the extra steps covid has created for them to work efficiently. Thank you guys.
The food is fantastic the service are great cant wait to go again ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great drinks, great food!
Love this place. Good food, good service. We have a small family party because of my son wedding. The cellar was the perfect place if youre a small group.
We enjoy the food but had to deal with the hostess playing favorites customers.
Good food,excellent service.
Beautiful outside seating, Amazing food (The chef Chris needs a Raise!) but the parking is something to be desired. Make sure you have a Reservation because this place gets Busy fast!
Great ambiance and lots of good energy from the people here. The lighting and seating is really great for social interaction. Cant wait to come back when were back to the real normal.
It was A-MA-ZING! THE SERVER WE HAD WAS SOOOO FREAKING NICE AND THE FOOD WAS GREAT! THE AMBIANCE WAS ROMANTIC FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Delicious food and great service, everyone there is really friendly.
The complete experience was amazing. Our server Gar S. was very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Ecerything was extreamly clean and spaced out. For outdoor dining the space was heated very comfortably. We would recommend this for a special dining experience.
Sat on the outdoor new added outdoor seating, it was great. Once it started to get cold they offered blankets to make us comfortable. Really enjoyed it.
Great food and awesome service.
Pricey menu. Service took a little longer than expected, but the ambience was beautiful and the food was amazing. We will go back for sure.
Very beautiful place, excellent service food.and ambience
